The Wire

Talk to Judy Rebick and she’ll tell you that feminism is most definitely alive and kicking – it’s just changed. Judy Rebick is one of Canada’s best-known feminist and socialist thinkers. She’s a regular broadcaster for Canada’s public station, the CBC, and for years co-hosted a daily tv show called ‘Face-off’: a half-hour debate between the left and right on current events. She’s the former President of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, and is best known for her commentary on women and alternatives to economic rationalism in Canada. Currently she publishes an independent online magazine – ‘Rabble’ – a lively forum of critical politics, bringing together a range of columnists, like Naomi Klein and Michele Landsberg. Judy is also the author of ‘Imagine Democracy’, and currently holds the CAW-Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice and Democracy at Ryerson University. Traversing feminism, corporate globalisation and fundamentalism, Judy Rebick recently participated in the Brisbane Social Forum and is currently in Sydney as a part of her lecture tour.
